Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) received a lot of criticism about his question that Chief Justice John Roberts rejected during the impeachment trial. Roberts rejected the question because it supposedly names the whistleblower even though people insist no one knows the identity of said whistleblower. Paul used his allotted time on the Senate floor to explain his question and push back against those who called him a hypocrite.

Rush Limbaugh announced yesterday he has advanced lung cancer. He will miss some airtime due to treatments. 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard tweeted out her best wishes for Limbaugh. As far as I can tell she is the only candidate to do this for him.

What a way for the Democrats to begin their 2020 election season! They still do not have a winner in the Iowa caucuses due to "inconsistencies in the reporting:"
“In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report,” Mandy McClure, the state party’s communications director, said in a statement.

President Donald Trump has literally broken Rep. Adam Schiff. I've enjoyed the House managers, especially Rep. Zoe Lofgren, but Schiff foams at the mouth and rants like a lunatic. In his closing statement, Schiff made up a whole bunch of unlikely scenarios to scare the Senate into convicting Trump.

The Senate voted not to call additional witnesses and bring forth new evidence 51-49, with Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) voting yay with the Democrats. The Senate then took a recess before voting on a motion from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to have closing arguments on Monday and vote on the articles on Wednesday.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) decided not to vote for additional witnesses and documents in the impeachment trial. She lashed out at the House Democrats over the articles of impeachment and even took a swipe at sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) question to Chief Justice John Roberts.

I'd jot down the lyrics to the song "The End" by The Doors, but we all know the Democrats will not stop investigating President Donald Trump. The Senate kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. They will vote on witnesses and additional documents. If that fails, which it likely will, the chamber will vote on the articles of impeachment.
